We enjoy working compassionately with clients who seek to engage their spiritual questions and challenges in the midst of the therapeutic journey. Our clients come from a variety of life histories and family backgrounds, but share in common a desire to discover a more hopeful perspective on life, while exercising specific skills and practices to make hope concrete on a daily basis. Our therapists are accustomed to mutual collaboration to serve the needs of children, adolescents, and their families in one setting.

Hello! My name is Basil. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. I've been providing psychotherapy since 2017, and have a long career history in disability work. Overall I have 17 years experience in Carework. I work primarily with individuals & couples with marginalized identities (in gender, sexuality, ability, neuro type, race, etc). I am also very interested in working with more cis men on the precipice of liberating themselves from toxic masculinity, particularly Dads, who want to be more conscious / intentional parents and partners. I also work with families.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking lasting healing and therapeutic change. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, or overwhelm that is signaling the need for a different way of living and approaching your life. You may have past trauma and need a safe space to work through this. Old patterns, wounding and trauma live in our bodies and show up in many ways including in relationships, feelings, thoughts, beliefs & body sensations. We will work together to heal and integrate these through a therapeutic approach that is relational, embodied, spirit-oriented and attentive to the culture and larger systems we live in.

My approach to therapy is warm, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe a safe therapeutic relationship is essential in providing effective, transformative therapy. I honor the individuality of my clients and know the courage it takes to come to therapy, and I firmly believe that it’s in our deepest struggles that we have the most potential for learning and growth. I am guided by the belief that everyone holds the ability within themselves to heal, and that together through a trusting therapeutic relationship, I can assist clients in their journeys towards being more deeply connected to themselves and others.

Let’s get real- we all need help sometimes. At any age, trying to make sense of the world can feel overwhelming. Is Mercury in retrograde? Maybe. But it doesn’t change our ability to help ourselves. Together, let’s turn down the noise and regain control over what is really important to you. Therapy should be engaging. I work with clients to find ways to connect in a real way using games, music and art. Difficulty with communication? What about navigating all life's transitions? Together, we will create a safe space to navigate these challenging areas and to find the way to peace and purpose.

Hello, I am Delia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker experienced in anxiety, depression, grief counseling and trauma. Above everything else, I believe that everybody, everywhere, deserves to live a happy and healthy life. A life beyond the grips of anxiety, tortures of depression, and trauma.

What do I do for a living? I meet with people and talk about the most intimate aspect of their lives. It's not a bad job and I love the work I get to do. While I often draw from a variety of psychological techniques, I am firmly rooted in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic theory which is a really fancy way of saying I believe authentic relationships bring about sincere change in people. As such, I work hard to create a trusting, comfortable space to help clients explore their goals and experience sincere growth.

YOU are doing it! Congratulations! Finding a therapist is not easy. Let's face it, we (therapists) can all look the same in the search. This process is similar to finding your favorite pair of shoes. Think of your favorite pair of shoes. When you tried on your shoes, how did they fit? Snug? Loose? Did you walk around the store to try them out? When finding a therapist, the same traits apply. Some may prefer snug; others loose. Only you can know which therapy style works for you. Now your opportunity is here. Give yourself a hug! Again, Congratulations!

You deserve to live an authentic life. Therapy can support you in creating a life that truly embodies the words of Maya Angelou because you deserve “..not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” Intentions set in therapy often focus on improving emotional regulation, strengthening one’s sense of self, & enhancing one’s overall state of well-being.
